Tap Photodiodes (Tap PDs)
Enable network traffic monitoring by Integrating these taps within standard transceiver packages (e.g., CFP2) thanks to the small (1.8 or 1.4 mm) diameter format.
Our slim taps feature high optical efficiency and low-noise photodiodes optimized for C- or L-band use. Choose from standard tap ratios (1, 2, 5, 10, or 20%) or specify a custom ratio. They feature rugged operation over the temp. range 0-75°C and humidity to 85% RH.
